Reviews

4.6 out of 5 stars from 56 ratings
  • Great Analysis

    I learned so much inside scoop this week from Mike and Alex. They offered a no holds barred observation of what is wrong with the Panthers. Great insight that that average fan doesn’t have.

    Really enjoy reading their stories and hearing their viewpoints!

  • Agree with LeoJM2

    Other reviewer LeoJM2 hit the nail on the head. Please stick to football, not your relationship with each other.

  • Just ok

    Would be better if you two would stop constantly sucking each other’s D about how funny and clever you think the other is. News flash: You’re both neither funny nor clever. But you give good football insight. So stick to that, please.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Week 3: @ Browns (Bryce balls out in Falcons win + Tony Grossi joins the show)
Q: What are two or three keys to the game besides the Deshaun Watson storyline?
The Browns' offensive progression with a young line and new scheme, plus cleaner defensive backfield play and how Watson handles crowd reactions will be pivotal; for the Panthers, sustaining Bryce Young's momentum and leveraging Darren Waller in the passing game are crucial.
Week 1: vs. Bears (First impressions of Darren Waller + Zack Pearson joins the show)
Q: Do you have a game prediction? Who do you think is going to win?
The Bears are predicted to win narrowly by one analyst, around 27-24, while the other host predicts the Panthers pull off a close 24-20 victory relying on big plays and defense to keep it tight.
Panthers season preview and predictions + Jalen Coker joins the show
Q: Do you have a record prediction for the 2026 regular season?
The guest suggests the team could go over .500 for the first time since 2017, with a likely 9-8 record, while some see potential for a 10-7 finish depending on division performance and overall play, especially Bryce Young's development and the defense.
Panthers season preview and predictions + Jalen Coker joins the show
Q: Panthers this year, there's a lot of optimism. Does it remind you of any Panthers' team of the past in particular?
Scott Fowler compares the mood to past iterations, notably 1996, highlighting a youthful signal and strong defense with veterans. He suggests the team could reach a high ceiling if quarterback play and defense click together, drawing parallels to the 1996 run.
Is Xavier Legette turning the corner? + Dominique Dafney joins the show
Q: What stands out about Xavier Legette in this offseason compared to last year?
Legette is progressing in comfort with the offense, taking on a veteran leadership role among younger players, and showing improved route understanding.
